Another reason why I love FS 2004 so much. If you fly to SFO, you are almost guaranteed to do a parallel approach with AI aircraft. Heh, same can be said about real life as well! Grin

Here we have an interesting angle. Kinda like a ground perspective.

And finally, here we see what the passengers see! 8)

If thats the SGA DC10-30 (new version) and it certainly looks like it, that is one awesome aircraft. It has quickly become one of my favourites since downloading it a little while ago. Awesome plane, and same with the pics, Silver

KSFO would be San Francisco California. A nice set-up I use to test new aircraft that I download is a short hop from KSJC (San Jose California) to KSFO. Depart KSJC using 30L or 30R and fly straight out at runway heading to about 4000 feet. Look to your left slightly and you will begin to see the field over at KSFO. Turn to a heading of 280 and you should be in great shape. Its a nice short 5-10 minutes and works well for testing out a new plane. That would be why many of my screen shots are taken at KSFO. Plus, I live in the Bay Area, so, its my "backyard". Grin

I've always thought the DC-10 looked shrp in the UA colors.
That window view is cool and my favorite shot.

While we're on the topic of KSFO: Does anyone know of any ACOF compatible scenery for SFO? It's a very col airport as we can all see, with those paralell runways and over water approach.
I'd love to take shots like this--> http://www.airliners.net/open.file/510977/M/, but the default scenery isnt that great.
